If you got heat in the garage. I need to do that, this sucks. Had to stop painting when this blew in. Time to use some hobby budget to get a shop heater. Ya'll further north are really getting hammered.

I'm not all the much "further north"and we got walloped. I'm in southwestern Oklahoma and we're starting our second day of going nowhere. This storm started roaring not too far south of us and then went across the country. There isa diagonal path running from us the the northeast of pure disastor. I-44 from Oklahoma City to Springfield close. I-70 across Missouri closed. Chigaco schools closed (first time in something like 12 years). This is one heck of a storm indeed. We are lucky here as we've had power throughout the storm. So my wife and Ihave just hunkered down and are on our second snow day. We own a business and we've just stayed closed. Most business in town are the same way.

The good thing about all this is getting to sit here at the building board and working on a plane!!!!!

Ken, I am in Arklansas, just a bit north east of you, and we got hammered. This is the second day that the schools have been closed and no traffic is moving on the road out front. We inherited a couple of teenage girls last year to raise and they are home (again) for the second day. I'm almost tempted to go out in the cold garage and do some work on a plane. There are plenty of them that need something.

We got about a foot here...not quite as bad as predicted...but more is on it's way....it's sleeting right now...

The cities use sand on snow/ice here, Austin, Tx. When the ice is all gone, now we have sandy roads. We dont even know how to drive in the rain when its warm. People slide all over the place. But when its sunny and hot, THAT we can deal with. Head to the lakes or pool.

Come up to Maine. We complain when there is no snow. Its 10 F. and snowing hard. The snowmobile trails are going to be groomed tonight,
and the fun begins. The lakes and ponds are freezing (thick ice) solid for ice fishing and flying.
Building and maintenance season is here. Its all in how you look at it!
Have fun, life is too short!

Hey flyalot, it's 6:40 Wednesday evening and I just measured 32" of fresh snow in my driveway! Couldn't even SEE my sled while I was moving it to plow at 2PM!
Better pack the trails before hauling that drag around in deep powder... might bog down and get it stuck.
Another foot on Saturday here and an 'undisclosed amount' Tuesday. Time to pack down a runway and put the skis on the plane!

Here, we are getting our payback for the summer time. Probably mid 60s at dawn, not more than 75 for a high. Moderate winds in the morning and not the slightest chance of rain, or clouds for that matter. I will be flying thru the morn as long as the batteries hold out.

Y'all guys stay warm!
